In the past, I’ve shared stories through the After Your PhD blog about how academics have found fulfilling careers outside academia. Most of these posts rely on text interviews of my conversations. While they can be impactful in text form, I feel that actually seeing the individual can make more of an impact.
With more folks using YouTube shorts and TikTok, sharing these stories on those social media platforms could most likely get more eyes on After Your PhD content.
Below are a few examples, of a long-form interview vs a short-form interview video content that I have done in the past. At the bottom of the post, I included how you contact me to collaborate!

In the video below, I made a shorter cut of the interview. I see a lot of potential with this type of content because a 25-30 minute interviews turns into 3-4 possible videos to share!
